Low Fat-Free Mass Index Measured by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Correlates With Hematologic Adverse Events in Early-Stage Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Chemotherapy: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study

Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment, 2022
Background: Low muscle mass is associated with worse cancer treatment outcomes. Although dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry or computerized tomography-based analysis have both been widely studied in this clinical setting, studies in the use of ...

The utility of fat mass index vs. body mass index and percentage of body fat in the screening of metabolic syndrome [PDF]

BMC Public Health, 2013
Abstract Background It has been well documented that obesity is closely associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Although body mass index (BMI) is the most frequently used method to assess overweightness and obesity, this method has been criticized because BMI does not always reflect true body fatness, which may be ...

Waist circumference adjusted for body mass index and intra-abdominal fat mass. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundThe association between waist circumference (WC) and mortality is particularly strong and direct when adjusted for body mass index (BMI). One conceivable explanation for this association is that WC adjusted for BMI is a better predictor of the ...
